“The 28-year-old does not require surgery and Harlequins will provide a further update when available.”

Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston said of Catrakilis after Saturday’s match: “He has gone to hospital. He was struggling to breathe on the pitch. The area to breathe properly was not clearing which needed to get oxygen.
